Donations / Memberships

It began with a visionary man, by the name of George Crosby, donating approximately 20 acres to the City of Toledo to be put to good use for the benefit of the community. Almost 50 years and 60+ acres later, Toledo Botanical Garden is free and open to the public year round thanks to community partnerships, generous donations and membership support.

Toledo Botanical Garden memberships are full of year-round benefits! Through the support of our members, the Garden can remain open, free of charge, for all to enjoy. Memberships also make great gifts! If you are interested in joining please sign up using our secure online Membership form or call 419.536.5597.
